This series, we have been talking about the steps and movements that you can take to get "fit enough" before you go into a gym! While I have said it many times, I will say it again. There is no need for you to get "in shape" before you go into a gym! That is precisely the point of a gym! However, some of you will still want to feel better before going into a gym, and we want to help you to feel that way! Today we are talking about the dreaded burpee! Now burpees have gotten a

This series, we have been discussing the solutions to an excuse that many people have for not starting a workout routine...they feel they aren't "fit enough" to start. I continue to tell people that wanting to get "in shape" before joining a gym is similar to wanting to learn how to read before you start school. It can be done, but you would be better served by going to school and learning how to read, then practicing some at home! However, the point of this series is to help

Last week, we talked about a touchy subject...your excuses and why they suck! In that series, we talked about the common excuse that you have to be "in-shape" or "fit enough" to start going to the gym...especially a CrossFit gym! While this notion is absolutely ridiculous...we want to help you to get "fit enough" to come in to see us! I mean, think about it....did you ever try learning to read a book before you went to school to learn how to read a book? No! You just showed u

In our last series, we talked about the excuses that so many people have for why they don't start an exercise routine. One of the excuses is that "I am not in shape/fit enough to do that..." In this series, we are talking about the steps that you can take to start getting "fit enough" to join the gym, especially a CrossFit gym (keep in mind, getting fit before joining a gym is like learning it all before you go to school!)! Yesterday, we talked about going for a walk and grad

Last week, we talked about the excuses that people make that they use to say that they cannot or should not start adding fitness into their daily life. One of the excuses that I hear commonly is that "I need to get in shape before I come do that." This statement really is asinine and is hard to believe that someone would actually say that! That's like saying that you need to learn a subject before you go to school....that is precisely what school is there for! However, today

This series, we have talked at length about the excuses that so many make to avoid taking steps in their life that will benefit them, especially regarding health and wellness! The last reason that I have heard for people is that they want someone to take the step with them...loosely translated as wanting to do it with a friend or even have someone for accountability! You see, you likely have MANY friends that would be HAPPY to do this with you! They ultimately want to see you

In this series, we have been discussing all of the excuses that I get to hear so frequently for why you can't start a fitness regimen. Today, we are talking about the classic "I don't have the money" excuse! This one is a tough one, so let's delve in! Money is a resource, with it, we afford things that, ideally, fill our lives. This may be an experience like a trip or and event...it may be physical like a house or a car and it may be something necessary like food and utilitie

Hello again! In this series, we are debunking common excuses that are believed as to why one would avoid starting a new fitness routine! So far, we have debunked the "not fit enough/too out of shape" excuse, as well as the "no time" excuses. Today, we are talking about the idea that "I don't know what to do!" While this is a valid excuse in the 1950s, today, there is not a ton of rationale for this excuse. With the advent of the internet, YouTube, websites and television ever

Hi again! It's me, giving hard lessons and reasons why your excuses not to start a fitness routine suck! Yesterday, we talked about the idea that you need to be fit to start a new exercise regimen. Nothing could be further from the truth! Today, we are talking about the idea that you have "No Time" to exercise... I think The Rock says it best here! This is yet another excuse that I get to hear on a regular basis! Really, a much more truthful answer would be that you choose no

Hello! Did that grab your attention?!?! Obviously, I hope it did! In this series, we are talking about the excuses that I hear consistently for NOT starting a fitness program. We will talk about the 5 most common excuses that I hear when talking to people either as a gym owner, or a physical therapist for why they don't start a fitness program. Today, we are talking about "I'm not in good enough shape to start..." This one is one of my absolute favorites! To be fair, I own a
